Baseball Notes.
The New York PLAYERS are, it is claimed. a
unit IN opposition to the new rules.
Joseph J. Helm who so conspicuous dur
ing the existence of the Kansas City League
team, was nominated for Mayor of that city, but
| positively declined
President Morrow, of the Southern League,
| gives it as his guess that the outcome of the
+! National League will be: Detroit New
